Hello Vision Nonprofit Friends


We’re thrilled to welcome you to our very first newsletter! Whether you’ve donated, volunteered, or simply shared our mission — thank you. You’re helping us deliver powerful tools to kids with low vision.

Our Mission


Vision Nonprofit was founded by Eric and Jillian Hintz, inspired by their son Joey, who has low vision and a deep love for technology. Watching how the right tools opened doors for Joey, they launched this nonprofit to help other children with significant vision loss access assistive technology — tools often not provided by schools or other programs.

Quick Impact Stats

  • 7+ Apple iPads delivered

  • $4,500 raised toward our new $18,000 

  • 15+ students to be supported goal this year

  • Serving families in Butler County and beyond

Our Current Campaign


We’re partnering with Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired to provide 10 brand-new 13-inch iPad Pros to students.


This summer, Vision Nonprofit is proud to support Clovernook's life-changing programs for youth with visual impairments. From building independence and mobility skills to exploring assistive technology and preparing for the future, these camps give students the confidence and tools to thrive.


Thanks to our generous donors, we’ve already raised $4,500 toward our $13,000 goal!

Yes — iPad Pros are expensive. But they’re durable, powerful, and packed with accessibility features. Each one is a big investment for a big impact — designed to last a child from elementary through high school.


Together, we’re helping provide the tools and opportunities that make these experiences possible.

Masen’s Story

"Masen has told us how much better it is to look at diagrams and charts on the iPad instead of tactile graphics on paper. It’s hard to grasp a full picture with just your hand. The iPad lets him zoom in and actually see what he’s learning. We were shocked — and so grateful — that Vision Nonprofit could provide an iPad so quickly. It’s already made a difference in school and at home." — Katie, Masen’s Mom

Content Highlight

Joey recently created his very first accessible tech tutorial — a step-by-step guide showing how to turn on VoiceOver on an iPad.


Using screen recording and narration, he walked viewers through the process of enabling the feature, adjusting settings, and navigating with gestures. His goal was simple: to help other kids with low vision discover one of the most powerful accessibility tools Apple offers.
